I think Rice just brings to much baggage. People who already made up their mind to vote for Biden probably won't be affected, but I can see the choice making Trump supporters more emboldened. Supporters for Trump that may have been demoralized enough to not vote could be swung back in his favour if Biden chooses a controversial figure from the Obama administration.
Maybe it wouldn't change the outcome of the election in general, but it could enforce the line in the sand and make the job of governing more difficult.
